	Grammatical gender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In all Caucasian languages that manifest class, it is not marked on the noun itself but on the dependent verbs, adjectives, pronouns and prepositions.
		However, as in English, even if a language has no concept of gender in nouns, personal pronouns often have different forms based on the natural gender of the reference; this is not the same concept as grammatical gender.
		Gendered pronouns and their corresponding inflections vary considerably across languages: there are languages that have different pronouns and inflections in the third person only to differentiate between humans and inanimate objects, like Hungarian and Finnish.

		Since the language of the Hopis had these peculiar characteristics, Whorf argued, they would experience the world in a fundamentally different way from the descendants of European settlers in North America, who had brought their languages and grammars to the continent.

	Azande
		The Zande, whose homelands lie within three modern African states (Republic of the Sudan, Zaire, Central African Republic), constitute a large and complex amalgam of originally distinct ethnic groups, united by culture and, to a considerable extent, by political institutions and by language.
		The Zande were formed by military conquest, beginning probably in the first half of the eighteenth century; they were led by two different dynasties that were similar in organization yet differed in origin and political strategy.
		It is important to the Zande that organic witchcraft, mangu, may be transmitted by a man to some of his sons and by a woman to some of her daughters.

		Were we to translate the languages expressing the two theories, we would need to resort to a lose sort of translation in which we "coin new words or distort the usage of old ones" (Quine 1960, p.
		Presumably, for a language to organize objects in this fashion, its predicates commonly must be associated with sets of central theoretical principles that are to be respected in translation.
		Languages expressing the same conceptual schemes are directly translatable because they have, ready to hand, ways of expressing the same concepts.

	IV. RATIONALITY AND KNOWLEDGE
		People think in language, and language operates according to the properties of reality, so reality is a basis for our thought (in the sense that we naturally think in terms of past, present and future, gender, singular and plural, and so on).
		He came to the conclusion that language has many logics, and that these don't derive from the objective world at all, but from the uses to which the language is put in everyday life.
		For him, language was still the medium in which people conduct their thinking, and thinking conforms largely to the logic of language.

	Michael Polanyi, "The Stability of Beliefs" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		So long as we use a certain language, all questions that we can ask will have to be formulated in it and will thereby confirm the theory of the universe which is implied in the vocabulary and structure of the language.
		If it were translated in Zande modes of thought it would serve to support their entire structure of belief.' Thus the circularity of a conceptual system tends to reinforce itself by every contact with a fresh topic.
		I suppose there should be no difficulty for a positivistically inclined member of the Zande tribe to describe the system of magic accepted by Azande as the simplest description of the facts, or as the most economical survey of sense data, or as a conventional framework valued for its usefulness.

		If you want to say that they are therefore incomplete, ask yourself whether our language is complete--whether it was before the symbolism of chemistry and the notation of the infinitesimal calculus were annexed to it, for these are, so to speak, the suburbs of our language.
		Rather than transcending that thought, it reinforces it by adding to it an all-purpose idea which acts to reassure the Zande that their fund of commonplaces is, momentary appearances to the contrary notwithstanding, dependable and adequate.
		If she says, truthfully, that she has none (I don't know what the Zande common-sense view concerning the veracity of women is, but if mere asking seems enough it must be unusual) and he dies anyway, then it must have been witchcraft--unless, of course, he has done something else obviously foolish.
